It’s a learning process.

Coupeville High School grad Chelsea Prescott and her new teammates at Medaille College picked up some valuable experience this weekend playing at the University of Rochester Invitational.

Two losses in as many matches Saturday left the Mavericks at 0-3 on the young season, but there’s still 20 more tilts to play during the regular season.

The first of those arrives Tuesday, Sept. 7, when Medaille hosts Wells College, which sits at 1-4 on the year.

Saturday, the Mavericks fell 25-12, 25-19, 25-17 to Smith College, then went down 25-15, 25-15, 25-16 to the University of Rochester.

Prescott delivered six kills and six digs in the opener, then tossed in two kills and five digs in the finale.

Through three matches, the former Wolf has played in all nine sets, racking up 14 kills and 17 digs.

Prescott was impeccable on service return against Smith College, converting all 15 of her opportunities without picking up a single error.

Before graduating with Coupeville’s Class of 2021, Prescott starred for the Wolves in volleyball, basketball, and baseball.

She helped lead both the spikers and diamond dandies to the state tournament during her run in Cow Town, and was the CHS Female Athlete of the Year for her senior season.

Medaille is scheduled to face Smith College in the morning, and the tourney hosts in the afternoon.

Prescott, a three-sport star and Athlete of the Year winner during her time at CHS, racked up six kills, six digs, and a block assist in her college debut.

Mica Shipley went to Paradise.

The Coupeville High School grad officially kicked off her second season as an NCAA D-1 cheerleader Thursday, as Eastern Washington University topped host University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Playing in front of 21,000 fans at the still fairly-new Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, the Eagles held off UNLV 35-33 in double overtime, denying a game-tying two-point conversion on the final play.

The game was held in a $1.9 billion arena, known informally as “The Death Star,” which also houses home games for the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.

Shipley’s high school cheer coach, BreAnna Boon, was thrilled to see her high-flying star holding down the big-time spotlight, a payoff for all her hard work.

“Mica friggin killed it!,” Boon said. “Her coach said that she had the most infectious spirit on the team.

“I am so proud of her! She’s living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to.

“She has dreamed of being a college cheerleader for so long, so to be able to see her living her dreams out, it’s just completely heart warming!”

Shipley fires up Eastern Washington University supporters.

“Farewell until next time!”

She’s official.

With Media Day out of the way, Medaille College in Buffalo just posted its 2021 volleyball roster, and Coupeville grad Chelsea Prescott is on there, proudly beaming.

The freshman outside hitter, a three-sport supernova in her Wolf days, is one of nine players listed for the Mavericks.

Medaille opens its season with a game against its alumni next Tuesday, Aug. 31, then flies into regular-season play.

The Mavericks have 23 matches scheduled, starting with an appearance at the University of Rochester Invitational Sept. 3-4.

Prescott and her new teammates tip off against the Rochester Institute of Technology on day one, then play Smith College and the tourney hosts in a Saturday doubleheader.

Growing up in Coupeville, where she was named CHS Female Athlete of the Year as a senior, Chelly was a standout volleyball, basketball, baseball, and softball player.

She went to the state tourney with volleyball and softball, and helped lead the Wolf diamond squad to a 12-0 season during a pandemic-altered senior campaign.

Always be ready.

Coupeville grad Joey Lippo had a busy weekend on the baseball diamond, showcasing his fleet feet, while also getting an unexpected chunk of work on the mound.

Friday, the former Wolf dashed home from third on a short pop-up in the ninth inning, tying the game and giving his Lynnwood Llamas hardball squad new life.

Once in extra innings, Lippo and Co. pulled out an 11-10 win over the Salem Salamanders in Cascade Collegiate League action.

While the victory, Lynnwood’s 13th of the summer, clinches a winning record for the Llamas, Saturday’s follow-up didn’t go quite as nicely.

Primed to play a doubleheader with the Salamanders, Lynnwood found itself in a bit of a bind when none of the team’s pitchers showed.

As in … absolutely none.

But after flipping some players around, including bringing Lippo in from center field to pitch, the Llamas put up a spirited fight while falling 6-2 and 3-2.

The losses drop Lynwood to 13-4 on the season, but the team remains atop the league standings.

Lippo threw five innings, scattering four hits while whiffing four Salamanders and giving up just a lone walk.

At the plate, he picked up a pair of hits, knocked in a run, and scored one during the weekend series.

The wood bat-using Cascade Collegiate League, which draws players from NCAA and NAIA schools, is a six-team conference with a 24-game schedule which runs between June and August.

Lippo will be a sophomore at the University of Maine at Presque Isle.
